Hey guys so I just replaced my radiator with a Koyorad. Radiator seems very well built and isn't leaking at all but it won't take all 4 gallons of coolant that it is supposed to be taking for some reason. It only took 2 gallons and I was using a bleeder kit and everything.
EDIT: Should also add...

Alright I am going to start this by saying that I absolutely love my LX470. I bought it for 600$ last year and have dumped thousands into fixing it up however, this thing also drives me absolutely bat s*** because of the little things that keep going wrong with it. I was changing the rear sway...
